Lace Detailing

Beanie, Zara. Overcoat, old. Top, c/o Persun. Boots, Town Shoes. Scarf, c/o Pinkstix. Brooch, bebe.

Totally loving the whole incorporating lingerie-style pieces into your wardrobe. I am really looking forward to Spring to play around a little bit more with this trend. The ‘wear your lingerie outside’ theme was all over the SS16 runways and is starting to creep into shops (check out the Nasty Gal x Courtney Love collabo here). While I’m not wearing my skivvies out per se (due to weather limitations) I did play around with boudoir style lace detailed stockings. True fact, I usually dress like this around the house, so bonus for not having to change to go outside. Only thing is I swapped over the knee socks for lace detailing nylons with OTK boots.

Contrast Collar Blouse

Blouse, c/o Persun (here). Trousers and Heels, Zara. Wooden bracelets, Mango. Silver bangle, Betsey Johnson. Skeleton ring, Nasty Gal. Purse, gifted. Snake ring, The Bay.

As briefly mentioned in my last post, this contrast collar blouse was crush # 2. I’ve been wanting one ever since I spotted a co-worker wearing a similar style. Now while crossing the border in search of one (how she got hers) wasn’t a feasible option, Persun was kind enough to fulfill my desire! The chiffon drapes beautifully; is soft and lightweight, and really comfy to wear with its loose, yet chict fit. And did I mention that it wrinkles a lot less than other fabrics? So it’s very reliable for those mornings when you simply need to grab a blouse and bottoms before flying out the door – without having to steam. Although be warned, if you chose the beige colour (it also comes in black) you need to have a nude bra on standby, as this baby is pretty sheer. Let me know what you think….
